Secure Computing S.W.A.T. Initiative

In October, Forrester Consulting conducted a commissioned study on behalf of Secure Computing that focused on determining how companies are responding to employee Web and messaging use. Using the results from that study, combined with global threat data from its industry-leading reputation system TrustedSource™, Secure Computing introduced its "SWAT" Initiative. The Secure Web 2.0 Anti-Threat Initiative leverages the company's security expertise and ongoing research to help businesses implement a proactive security architecture that can protect their environments as existing Web and messaging threats increase and new threats arise.
